86. Neptis leucothoe, Cramer. 

 Common in the Upper Chindwin. This is the name under which 

 N. varmona^ Moore, should stand. 



87. Neptis astola, Moore. 

 Common at from 3,000 to 7,000 feet. This appears to he a hill 

 race of N. le^icothoe, to which the specimens from lower elevations are 

 very close. 



88. Neptis nandina, Moore (soma, Moore.) 

 Two specimens from the Upper Chindwin in May, and two from 

 3;500 feet in the rains. 



89. Neptis khasiana, Moore. 

 A single specimen from the foot of the hills in March. N. cineraceay 

 Grose-Smith, appears to be identical with this species. 

 90, Neptis maetabana, Moore. 

 Two specimens of the dry-season form from Kalewa in March. 

 This is the Burmese representative of N. opliiana^ Moore, from which it 

 appears to b.) distinct ; at least there certainly appear to be two species 

 confused under N. ophiana, and, as iV. martahana was described from 

 Burma, it seems better to use that name for the present species than 

 one which probably does not apply. True N. ophiana is very possibly 

 identical with N. columella, Cramer. 



91. ClEKHOCHROA MITHILA, Moore. 



Fairly common in the hills up to 5,000 feet during May and 

 June, and very common later in the year ; also received from Manipur. 

 The medial transverse lines on the underside of both wings vary 

 greatly in intensity, being hardly traceable in some specimens, and a 

 deep purplish-black in others. This variation does not appear to be 

 seasonal, as I have both forms taken in June and throughout the rains» 

 The broad silvery transverse band is also very variable both in width 

 and in coloration, being brilliant silvery in some specimens and almost 

 concolorous with the ground-colour of the wing in others ; the silvery 

 tint is more obsolescent in the rainy season specimens than in those 

 taken in May, so may possibly be seasonal. In only three specimens are 

 the bands and spots ochre-yellow, in all the others they are tawny ; these 

 latter are therefore typical C. rotwidata, Butler. I am, however, quite 

 certain that all the specimens belong to one species only, which should 

 stand as C. mithila.
